> psychopy (say version 3.2.4)?

You do understand that psychopy switched to calver immediately after that version, and that this was over five years ago? That when that package was released, the oldest currently officially supported version of Python had barely started development? And that it's packaged according to legacy standards that weren't even following the best practices for 2019 (it offers only a source distribution despite only having Python code itself)?

That said, it looks like current versions would be able to install (on Mac, only up to Python 3.11, because that's what's supported) even with pip.

I have yet to be shown a package that uv can cleanly install into a new environment but pip cannot.

Psychopy is a mess of a project. It hasn't gotten any better from my perspective, even after hiring full time developers, because most of their effort is focused on the single-gui-app and Pavolovia.

things did get better when they added wheels.

I'm afraid uv can't do anything about that, nor could any other packaging tool. (Except perhaps one custom-made by the developers, but just getting on board with standards and best practices would surely be easier.)
